ABOUT ME

I love travelling and discovering new places, actually I think I am a bit on the Nomadic side, as I change the city I live in almost every year; I do speak English proficiently and enjoy conversation with new people, however I do not deem myself a talkative or pestering person, so I can easily adjust to more introvert guests or hosts. I love reading books, running, playing football and tennis. I also enjoy cooking and can fix some Polish traditional meal from close to zero ingredients. I really like my job and work a lot, especially if a deadline hangs over my head like a raining cloud, but thankfully I can work from many places and can live the way I like, which makes me reasonably happy.

PHILOSOPHY

be kind to people

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I want to travel a lot and I am keen to host new guests. Couchsurfing makes travelling easier, more interesting and (let's be honest) cheaper. I love this way of travelling and wouldn't trade it for all the luxurious booze in a five star hotel in Las Vegas (I think). It broadens your horizons and helps you grow faster.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

So far, so good. I met only nice and generous people and hope it will stay like this.
